TOLEDO, Ohio (CBS Cleveland/AP) — A new campaign video for the Ohio congressional candidate known as “Joe the Plumber” implies that German gun controls contributed to deaths during the Holocaust because people didn’t have firearms to defend themselves.

The video shows Samuel Wurzelbacher taking shooting practice outdoors as narration talks about gun controls imposed by the Germans in 1939, before an estimated six million Jews were exterminated. Then Wurzelbacher says, “I love America.”
